Obama - 3rd Worst President

According to a new poll out, Obama now owns the 3rd worst ratings of any president since World War II. Pretty remarkable, considering he started out as the best. I'll be one to say the economy is not entirely his fault - it's just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. However both Reagan and GW Bush were also faced with devastating recessions and somehow they found a way out. My point is: no one can control the cards a President is dealt, but it's all in how they respond to the crisis. Reagan and GW cut taxes to get the economy back on track. Obama is spending like no man has ever done before.

So yes - Obama had a bad hand to start with, but there's 2 reasons why he should be still held accountable for the economy:

1. He was supposedly a top senator while the crisis was going on. What was he saying or proposing while this was happening? No one can seem to remember - partially because his mouth was largely closed and/or he was too busy campaigning for president to even pay attention to the economy.

2. Again - it's the response to the crisis that matters. His response? It'd make Lenin proud.

How long before Obama blames racism for his poor approval ratings? I give him a year.
